little sherwood petting zoo, drouin

25 May

If you're looking for the ultimate family fun - and budget-friendly - day trip, head to Little Sherwood Petting Zoo in Drouin South — a place where you can enjoy fur, fun, and yummy food!

It is actual animal lovers heaven! (Especially if you are anything like this Mamma and are unapologetically obsessed with piggies!)

Here you get to cuddle a baby goat (how adorable are their jumpers!) feed friendly donkeys, sheep, and chickens, and give a gentle pat to the fluffiest bunnies you've ever seen. In a separate pen a group of cheeky piglets trot about with their little piggy tails wagging, while hungry alpacas and llamas eye you up for snacks — and yes, you can feed them too! If you're lucky, you'll even get to feed the gorgeous Highland cows.

But if gorgeous animals aren’t enough, kids will also love the massive playground, play sheds, and tents with blackboards, toys, and enough space to burn off some energy.

And if you’re a bit peckish, there’s a crepe truck. Serving up yummy sweet crepes, hot chips, hot drinks and milkshakes - it’s just what you need to fill up your tummy!

Oh, and keep your eyes peeled — a playful Bengal cat might just slink by for a quick hello!

*Please be very watchful of your children here and make sure kids are sitting down when holding the goats, and are respectful of the animals and never chase them!
